reborn in america

After returning, Adam made a phone call with his family and Carol to report his safety. Although the distance between the two places was not far, he always worried about him as long as he was away from him, and Adam also missed his family and Carol a little.

When it was approaching early morning, Carol didn't continue chatting with him because there was business tomorrow. Anyway, there was plenty of time, so there was no rush.

Before going to bed, Adam excused that he couldn't sleep, and asked Carol to play a few more songs for him. Finally, the two finally reluctantly said good night to each other and went to bed.

The next day was sunny, Adam got up and had breakfast, squinted his eyes and basked in the sun for a while in front of the window, until Lydia called him and said that the appointed screenwriter had arrived, so he put on casual clothes , to meet today's guests.

Adela Giles, a native of Tennessee, first came to Hollywood in the 80s. She first wrote the plot for a soap opera, and then slowly transformed into a film screenwriter. She has written scripts for many small and medium-budget films. She is best at It is the creation of horror movie scripts. At present, it also cooperates with the small film company Tate Films. This film company mainly shoots some third-rate horror films. Survive, and even have an occasional surplus.

Although Adela can be regarded as a senior Hollywood screenwriter, but like him, he has been in third-rate horror films all the year round, and he doesn't have much status in Hollywood. Although Hollywood flatters money first, in the screenwriting profession, if you want to In the final analysis, there are only two ways to improve one's status. One is to go to the top of commercial films and have many high-grossing movies under his command, or take the literary route, and the scripts he writes have a good reputation and win a batch of awards.

Adela, who does not have both, is quite embarrassed. As he is determined to make a name for himself in Hollywood, he knows that he cannot follow the literary route, so he works hard to study the various standard procedures of commercial film screenwriting, but Can't find an opportunity for a long time.Unexpectedly, arranging flowers intentionally will fail, and planting willows and willows will make shade unintentionally. I accidentally heard that someone wants to write a movie script for the currently popular novel "Jurassic Park", and this person is the author of the novel.Although he is talking about an assistant on the surface, no matter whether he really only asks himself to assist or not, if the script can really be made in the end, then he may be able to use this to open up the road to commercial blockbusters.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Seventh National Congress. When Adam saw Adela, apart from giving an external impression of a plain face with stubble on his face, his character that was not arrogant at all made Adam Extremely satisfied.

Adam asked him about his experience, told him that he was writing a script for a monster movie, and then checked whether he was familiar with this type of script.

The result is very certain. In fact, compared to the top seven monster movies, it is the third- and fourth-tier small film companies that really carry forward this category. Every year, a few movies with garbage or mediocre plots, poor acting skills, and extremely low investment enter the film industry. Movie theaters, and Adela, as one of the screenwriters of Tate Films, has naturally written several garbage monster movies full of formats.

Talking about the monster movie scripts that she had written, Adela seemed rather embarrassed, because the investment in those movies was only a few hundred thousand dollars, and they barely recovered the cost in the end. Only one box office broke a million, which made the movie company small Earn, the rest are through video sales and rental routes, slowly recovering costs.

Adam doesn't care what kind of box office the movie script he wrote has. He just needs to confirm that the other party wrote it according to the standard monster movie framework, and he is very familiar with it.

Because the contract was not officially signed, Adam did not discuss the specific content with him. After confirming that it was him, he made an appointment with him to sign the contract at the studio tomorrow and assisted him in completing the script of "Jurassic Park".

Then the two talked about some Hollywood rumors and anecdotes, as well as some miscellaneous matters such as the filming process of the movie. During the period, Adam invited him to have a very rich lunch before saying goodbye to him.

In the afternoon, Adam took a nap, then met with several cartoon assistants invited by Lydia, and selected three young cartoonists between the ages of 30 and 20, and two of them were actually in their [-]s. It has to be said that it is a rather interesting thing for my fans, and I am even more ecstatic to hear that I invited him to be my comic assistant.

It's not that the other Adam doesn't want to choose to be his fan to work for him, but this 29-year-old cartoonist who resigned from a small comic company, Hudson Eddie's style of painting is very mature, and the most important thing is to be able to He has achieved [-]% of his comic ability (of course, the basic skills of Adam’s comics are above the average level), especially in terms of painting style, because he has deliberately imitated it, which is very in line with his requirements, so even if he is not his fan, but Adam After seeing his comics, I recruited him directly.

Although Hudson was a little surprised why Adam spent a large amount of income to hire assistants to help him draw this "Druid", even based on what he referred to, the three assistants he hired paid a month's worth The money will not be much less than the salary Marvel gave him, which is basically thankless.

But he can't figure out what the rich think, and he doesn't want to think about it. Anyway, for him, he has a job and an income, and that's enough. As for other things, he doesn't have the heart to care so much.

Naturally, Adam could also guess what they were thinking, but it didn't matter, what they thought had nothing to do with him, and all he needed was for the other party to help him complete his work, and he didn't care about the rest.

……

On the second day, under the management of Lydia, the studio was able to work normally, and Adam actually signed the contract with the two parties. In this regard, because Adam had already told Tonares, the contract was made by What he provided, Adam did not need to find other lawyers to draft.

In fact, the layout of the studios is almost the same, the office, the lounge, and the bathroom are generally like this. In addition to the lounge and the bathroom, Adam’s studio also has four small offices, each of which is about [-] square meters. Adam let Hurd Sen and another assistant are working in the room next to the door. The specific content of Adam has been given to them by the plot outline and the main characters. Because they have all read the comics, it is not a big problem to understand. As for the final quality, anyway, Adam They are in Los Angeles in a short period of time, and can be calibrated at any time to ensure that the quality will not change greatly.

As for another young man named Tom, he was called by Adam to help Adam complete the storyboard draft of the "Jurassic Park" movie. During the interview, Adam found that he compared the paintings of modern themes and animal environments. Smooth, just in line with their own requirements.

And Tom knew that he was regretful that he could not participate in the creation of "Druid", but he was even more excited to stay and work with Adam. As for "Jurassic Park" since the last program, he has naturally watched it, I like it very much, and even secretly drew some scenes from novels. He brought these to Adam to read, and Adam felt pretty good.

"Hey, starting today, we will officially start working. How about it? Do you have any other requirements?" Adam sat in his seat and looked at the two people in front of him.

"No. Mr. Baker." The two shook their heads. Even if they really had something on their minds, they couldn't say it so carelessly.

"Okay, I think you have read the novel, have you read it? If you haven't read it, I will spare time to read it for you. Because it is extremely important for our future work, so I I don’t want you to lie to me. Otherwise, when the mission starts, if I find out that any of you are not familiar with the content of the novel, then the result may be very bad.” Adam continued to ask, Tom knew he had seen him, from his From the drawing handed to me, it can be seen that I have definitely read the novel, and my liking for the novel should be true, but Adela is not necessarily the case. As a veteran who has been in Hollywood for many years, the last time I talked, I could completely deceive Adam, take this contract first, and then read the entire novel.

"Of course, I'm already very familiar with the content of the novel, there's no doubt about it." Adela knew that Adam was mainly asking himself. To be honest, he also happened to be a bit of a coincidence. It was said that Fox executives were interested in this novel and wanted to buy it and adapt it into a movie, but he read this classic novel just in case, and this time the opportunity might not be his turn.

Adam looked into the eyes of the two people, and after confirming this, he took out a document from his bag, handed it to Adela and said, "This is the outline of the story I wrote for this movie, please take a look , if this plot is written into a movie script, what should I do?"

Adela has read the novel, especially after learning that she will become the second screenwriter of this script, she read it three or four times from beginning to end in a short period of time, and memorized the plot inside, so when After he took over the outline of the story he wrote for the movie from Adam, he immediately discovered that the outline of the story was basically based on part of the novel.

Compared with the novel, this story obviously weakens the intensity of the novel, otherwise, if it is filmed completely according to the novel, several of them may enter nc17, or R-rated, which is extremely unfavorable for the box office. It can be seen that Adam's ambition is extremely strong. Not only to make a good movie, but also have extremely high ambitions for the box office.
